Class "The Coach With The Dragon Tattoo" Review


Hell there Doctor Who fans well here we are yet again with another review of what i can safely say will in time become a fan favourite series here is my review of the second episode of Class called "The Coach With The Dragon Tattoo".

The story for this weeks second episode is as follows Ram struggles to cope following events at the Prom isolating himself from the others but when the school is faced with a dreadful new threat the gang must unite to fight it. I have to say i much preferred this episodes story to the first just because this one seems to be more fun in a way and unlike the last episode which did have some pacing issues this one really doesn't.


Of course we have all the main actors in this episode and honestly there all starting to grow on me a bit we got some backstory for Tanya in this episode which i thought was pretty good and i think i can say who many people will start to love and it's Miss Quill she just gets all the best lines in this episode and indeed most of the laughs it's nice to see Katherine Kelly get some jokes because she can be quite funny. I have to say tho that the two standout characters in this episode are Miss Quill and Ram because we get to see things from there POV which i thought was a really interesting idea and was one that i really liked also the guy who played the PE teacher was really good as well.

In the last episode i liked the way the monster looked sadly the same cannot be said for this episode's monster the CGI just looked fake to me and if i'm being honest the monster just looked like a typical dragon and it was really obvious that it was all done in a computer.

This episode to me felt like a horror movie and to a degree it followed all the horror cliche's we have someone investigating a strange noise , the comic relief character , and the fact that there is a ton of blood i'm not even joking if you thought that the first episode had a lot of blood then you have seen nothing yet.


Not all the CGI was bad mind you the effects on the tattoo was really good and it helped sell the fact that something was going to happen i'm trying not to spoil the episode by the way. This episode also has a really good third act where again no spoilers but lets say something pretty cool happens and there's a pretty epic speech as well and a fair few laughs.

If the last episode was about these bunch of strangers coming together then this episode was about dealing with the after effects of that in both a positive and negative way and the fact that it's all resolved by the end of the episode was pretty good and it was a nice way to tie the two episodes together.

Overall this was a really good second episode and i hope that the rest of the series carry's on being this good that being said i couldn't help but notice that two of the main characters felt like side characters in this episode it's not a big issue but it's something that i noticed i give episode 2 a 9.0 out of 10
